Effects on cognition, cerebral blood flow, cerebrovascular responsiveness (CVR) and cardiometabolic markers (blood pressure, diabetes markers and fasting lipids) were assessed. Compared to placebo, resveratrol improved overall cognitive performance (P < 0.001) and attenuated the decline in CVR to cognitive stimuli (P = 0.038). The latter effect was associated with reduction of fasting blood glucose (r = −0.339, P = 0.023). This long-term study confirms that regular consumption of resveratrol can enhance cognitive and cerebrovascular functions in postmenopausal women, with the potential to slow cognitive decline due to ageing and menopause.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 12:53:19 AEDT ]]> Impaired physical function associated with childhood obesity: how should we intervene? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24502 Wed 19 Jan 2022 15:18:31 AEDT ]]> Combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, epirubicin and 5-fluorouracil causes trabecular bone loss, bone marrow cell depletion and marrow adiposity in female rats https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23944 Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:32:06 AEDT ]]> Cerebrovascular and cognitive benefits of high-oleic peanut consumption in healthy overweight middle-aged adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30907 2) consumed their habitual diet ± high-oleic peanuts (56–84 g/day), each for 12 weeks. Nutrient intakes, vascular and cognitive function were assessed at baseline and at the end of each 12-week phase. Differences between the ends of each phase were compared by general linear repeated measures ANOVA controlling for baseline. Pearson's correlation analyses determined relationships between differences in cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) and cognitive function. Results: Intakes of bioactive nutrients increased during the peanut phase. CVR was 5% greater in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) and 7% greater in the right MCA. Small artery elasticity was 10% greater after peanut consumption; large artery elasticity and blood pressure did not differ between phases. Measures of short-term memory, verbal fluency, and processing speed were also higher following the peanut phase; other cognitive measures did not change. Differences in CVR in the left MCA correlated with differences in delayed memory and recognition. Discussion: Regular peanut consumption improved cerebrovascular and cognitive function; increased intakes of bioactive nutrients may have mediated these improvements.]]> Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:31:08 AEDT ]]> Dairy foods and dairy protein consumption is inversely related to markers of adiposity in obese men and women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27752 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:17:27 AEST ]]> Fish oil supplementation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31124 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:45:05 AEST ]]> A comparison of regular consumption of fresh lean pork, beef and chicken on body composition: a randomized cross-over trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18061 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:31:49 AEST ]]> Feasibility of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation as an adjunct therapy for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14698 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:15:41 AEST ]]> Effects of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on endothelial vasodilator function and cognition-are they interrelated? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30472 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:58:04 AEST ]]> Persistent citation of the only published randomised controlled trial of omega-3 supplementation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease six years after its retraction https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26497 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:26:15 AEST ]]> Increases in plasma lutein through supplementation are correlated with increases in physical activity and reductions in sedentary time in older adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20239 2; age, 68.8 ± 6.4 year) not meeting Australian physical activity guidelines (150 min/week of moderate to vigorous activity) were randomized to consume capsules containing 21 mg of lutein or placebo with 250 mL of full-cream milk per day for 4 weeks and encouraged to increase physical activity. Physical activity was assessed by self-report, pedometry and accelerometry (daily activity counts and sedentary time). Exercise self-efficacy was assessed by questionnaire. Thirty-nine participants competed the study (Lutein = 19, Placebo = 20). Lutein increased plasma lutein concentrations compared with placebo (p < 0.001). Absolute and percentage changes in plasma lutein were inversely associated with absolute (r = −0.36, p = 0.03) and percentage changes (r = −0.39, p = 0.02) in sedentary time. Percentage change in plasma lutein was positively associated with the percentage change in average daily activity counts (r = 0.36, p = 0.03). Exercise self-efficacy did not change (p = 0.16). Lutein increased plasma lutein, which was associated with increased physical activity and reduced sedentary time in older adults. Larger trials should evaluate whether Lutein can provide health benefits over the longer term.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:57:47 AEST ]]> Effect of 12 weeks high oleic peanut consumption on cardio-metabolic risk factors and body composition https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22884 vs. a nut free diet on adiposity and cardio-metabolic risk markers. In a randomised cross-over design, 61 healthy subjects (65 ± 7 years, body mass index (BMI) 31 ± 4 kg/m²) alternated either high oleic peanuts (15%-20% of energy) or a nut free diet for 12 weeks. Body composition and mass, waist circumference, C-reactive protein (CRP), lipids, glucose and insulin were assessed at baseline and after each phase. Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) compared the two diets. Consistent with other nut studies, there were no differences in lipids, CRP, glucose and insulin with peanut consumption. In contrast, some reports have demonstrated benefits, likely due to differences in the study cohort. Energy intake was 10% higher (853 kJ, p < 0.05), following peanut consumption vs. control, attributed to a 30% increase in fat intake (p < 0.001), predominantly monounsaturated (increase 22 g, p < 0.05). Despite greater energy intake during the peanut phase, there were no differences in body composition, and less than predicted increase (0.5 kg) in body weight for this additional energy intake, possibly due to incomplete nutrient absorption and energy utilisation.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:43:58 AEST ]]> Poor cerebrovascular function is an early marker of cognitive decline in healthy postmenopausal women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28572 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:20:12 AEST ]]> Resveratrol supplementation reduces pain experience by postmenopausal women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33113 Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:56:17 AEST ]]> No effect of a whey growth factor extract during resistance training on strength, body composition, or hypertrophic gene expression in resistance-trained young men https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34251 6 months of resistance training (RT) experience performed 12 weeks of RT. Participants consumed 20 g/day of whey protein and were randomised to receive either 1.6 g WGFE/day (WGFE; n = 22) or 1.6 g cellulose/day (control, CONT; n = 24). The primary outcome was leg press one-repetition maximum (LP1-RM) which was assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 weeks. At baseline and 12 weeks body composition was assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, and muscle protein synthesis and gene expression were assessed (vastus lateralis biopsy) in a sub-sample (WGFE n = 10, CONT n = 10) pre- and 3 hr post-training. RT increased LP1-RM (+34.9%) and lean tissue mass (+2.3%; p < 0.05) with no difference between treatments (p > 0.48, treatment x time). Post-exercise P70s6k phosphorylation increased acutely, FOXO3a phosphorylation was unaltered. There were no differences in kinase signalling or gene expression between treatments. Compared with CONT, WGFE did not result in greater increases in lean tissue mass or strength in experienced resistance trained men.]]> Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:49:44 AEST ]]> Fish oil supplementation reduces osteoarthritis-specific pain in older adults with overweight/obesity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41409 Wed 03 Aug 2022 11:24:21 AEST ]]> Reductions in food cravings are similar with low-fat weight loss diets differing in protein and carbohydrate in overweight and obese adults with type 2 diabetes: a randomized clinical trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32856 Wed 02 Mar 2022 14:29:23 AEDT ]]> The benefits of regular aerobic exercise training on cerebrovascular function and cognition in older adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52900 Tue 31 Oct 2023 15:46:08 AEDT ]]> Polyunsaturated fatty acid intake and lung function in a regional Australian population: a cross-sectional study with a nested case-control analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42445 1% predicted) and consumption of fried fish (OR -0.12, 95% CI -0.22, -0.01, P = 0.026) but not fish prepared by other cooking methods or estimated intakes of PUFA. There was no association between fish or PUFA intakes and COPD risk. Compared to age and sex matched controls, cases had poorer lung function and a higher rate of smoking prevalence but did not differ in their intakes of fish or PUFA or their PUFA levels in plasma phospholipids. In this sub-population, we found a marginally significant association between COPD risk and total long chain n-3PUFA levels in plasma phospholipids (OR 1.22 95% CI 1.00-1.49, P = 0.046). Given the relatively small number of cases in this analysis, this finding should be interpreted with caution, especially given the lack of association with other markers of n-3PUFA intake or status. Taken together, our data suggest that n-3PUFA intake and status are not determinants of improved lung function in this regional Australian population.]]> Tue 23 Aug 2022 10:54:28 AEST ]]> The Effects of Aerobic Exercise Training on Cerebrovascular and Cognitive Function in Sedentary, Obese, Older Adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52536 Tue 17 Oct 2023 10:05:27 AEDT ]]> Effects of fish oil and curcumin supplementation on cerebrovascular function in older adults: a randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45541 2) to investigate effects of fish oil (2000 mg docosahexaenoic acid + 400 mg eicosapentaenoic acid/day), curcumin (160 mg/day) or a combination of both on cerebrovascular function (measured by Transcranial Doppler ultrasound), systemic vascular function (blood pressure, heart rate and arterial compliance) and cardiometabolic (fasting glucose and blood lipids) and inflammatory (C-reactive protein) biomarkers. The primary outcome, cerebrovascular responsiveness to hypercapnia, was not affected by the interventions. However, cerebral artery stiffness was significantly reduced in males following fish oil supplementation (P = 0.007). Furthermore, fish oil reduced heart rate (P = 0.038) and serum triglycerides (P = 0.006) and increased HDL cholesterol (P = 0.002). Curcumin did not significantly affect these outcomes either alone or in combination with fish oil. Conclusion: Regular supplementation with fish oil but not curcumin improved biomarkers of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular function. The combined supplementation did not result in additional benefits. Further studies are warranted to identify an efficacious curcumin dose and to characterize (in terms of sex, BMI, cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors) populations whose cerebrovascular and cognitive functions might benefit from either intervention.

Erythrocyte levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were similar in men and women while docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) was higher and EPA + DHA (Omega-3 Index) slightly lower in men than in women. Both DHA and EPA + DHA correlated inversely with BMI, WC and BF in women while DPA correlated inversely with BF in men. Quartile distributions and curvilinear regression of the Omega-3 Index versus BMI revealed a steep rise of BMI in the lower range of the Omega-3 Index in women, but no association in men. Thus the results highlight important gender differences in relationships of specific LC n-3 PUFA in erythrocytes to markers of adiposity. If these reflect causal relationships between LC n-3 PUFA consumption and risk of obesity, gender specific targeted interventions should be considered.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:29:38 AEDT ]]> The addition of peanuts to habitual diets is associated with lower consumption of savory non-core snacks by men and sweet non-core snacks by women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31420 P < .001], 9% for women [P < .001]) during the peanut phase. Body weight was 0.5 ± 0.2 kg (P = .010) greater during the peanut phase. Snacking occasions increased during the peanut phase (53% for men [P = .001] , 14% for women [P = .01]). Servings of other snack foods did not change during the peanut phase (P = .6) compared with control. However, sex-specific analysis revealed that men and women consumed less savory (P < .001) and sweet (P = .01) non-core snacks, respectively, during the peanut phase. Despite increased energy intake and snacking frequency, peanuts may improve the diet through sex-specific reductions of non-core foods; for optimal energy balance, peanuts should be substituted rather than added to the diet.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:43:54 AEDT ]]> Chronic resveratrol consumption improves brachial flow-mediated dilatation in healthy obese adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15586 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:25:15 AEDT ]]> Lower energy intake following consumption of Hi-oleic and regular peanuts compared with iso-energetic consumption of potato crisps https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20809 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:58 AEDT ]]> Maximal rate of increase in heart rate during the rest-exercise transition tracks reductions in exercise performance when training load is increased https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21444 P < 0.04) in participants (n = 8) who increased training load (completed light training then heavy training) and, although maximal rate of heart rate increase did not change (P = 0.27), within-individual changes in work were correlated with changes in maximal rate of heart rate increase (r = 0.87, P = 0.005). Work during 5 min cycle time-trial increased 6.5% (P < 0.001) in 9 participants who decreased training load (completed heavy training then light training) and maximal rate of heart rate increase increased 28% (P = 0.002) but the changes in maximal work were not related to changes in rate of heart rate increase (r = 0.32, P = 0.40). Heart rate recovery tended to track changes in 5 min cycle time-trial work following increases and decreases in training load (r = 0.65–0.75, P = 0.03–0.08). Conclusions: Maximal rate of heart rate increases during cycling at 100 W tracks reductions in exercise performance when training load is increased, but not performance improvements when training loads are reduced. Maximal rate of heart rate increase may be a useful adjunct to heart rate recovery for tracking changes in exercise performance.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:43 AEDT ]]> Food groups and fatty acids associated with self-reported depression: an analysis from the Australian National Nutrition and Health Surveys https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19481 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:19 AEDT ]]> Knee extensor strength differences in obese and healthy-weight 10-to 13-year-olds https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19495 N = 107 (51 female, 56 male)] and healthy-weight [N = 132 (56 female, 76 male)] 10- to 13-year-old children. Body mass index, body composition (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry), isokinetic/isometric peak KE torques (dynamometry) and physical activity (accelerometry) were assessed. Results revealed that compared with their healthy-weight peers, obese children had higher absolute KE torques (P ≤ 0.005), equivocal KE torques when allometrically normalized for fat-free mass (FFM) (P ≥ 0.448) but lower relative KE torques when allometrically normalized for body mass (P ≤ 0.008). Adjustments for maternal education, income and accelerometry had little impact on group differences, except for isometric KE torques relative to body mass which were no longer significantly lower in obese children (P ≥ 0.013, not significant after controlling for multiple comparisons). Percent body fat was inversely related to KE torques relative to body mass (r = −0.22 to −0.35, P ≤ 0.002), irrespective of maternal education, income or accelerometry. In conclusion, while obese children have higher absolute KE strength and FFM, they have less functional KE strength (relative to mass) available for weight-bearing activities than healthy-weight children. The finding that FFM-normalized KE torques did not differ suggests that the intrinsic contractile properties of the KE muscles are unaffected by obesity. Future research is needed to see if deficits in KE strength relative to mass translate into functional limitations in weight-bearing activities.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:19 AEDT ]]> Fish oil in comparison to folinic acid for protection against adverse effects of methotrexate chemotherapy on bone https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20488 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:08 AEDT ]]> Nut consumption for vascular health and cognitive function https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20512 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:05 AEDT ]]> Improvement of major depression is associated with increased erythrocyte DHA https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18981 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:51 AEDT ]]> Musculoskeletal pain in obese compared with healthy-weight children https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21320 P=0.006), pain in more locations (P≤0.005), and a higher prevalence of lower limb pain (60% vs. 52% respectively, P=0.012) than healthy-weight children. Significant relationships were observed between body mass index and total pain locations (P≤0.004, unadjusted and adjusted) and worst pain intensity (P≤0.009, adjusted for socioeconomic status/accelerometry). There were no significant relationships between percent body fat and pain variables (unadjusted/adjusted analyses, P = 0.262 to 1.0). Discussion: Obesity in children was associated with increased overall and lower limb musculoskeletal pain, for which body mass index was a stronger predictor than adiposity. Clinicians treating obese children should screen for pain and prescribe exercise programs that take their symptoms into account.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:51 AEDT ]]> Vibration therapy is no more effective than the standard practice of massage and stretching for promoting recovery from muscle damage after eccentric exercise https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26834 max) of the right knee extensor muscles. For the next 7 days, 25 participants applied cycloidal vibration therapy to the knee extensors twice daily and 25 participants performed stretching and sports massage (SSM) twice daily. Main Outcome Measures: Changes in markers of muscle damage [peak isometric torque (PIT), serum creatine kinase (CK), and serum myoglobin (Mb)], muscle soreness (visual analog scale), and inflammation [serum C-reactive protein (CRP)] were assessed. Results: After ECCmax, there was no difference in recovery of PIT and muscle soreness or serum CK, Mb, and CRP levels between vibration and SSM groups (P > 0.28). Conclusions: Cycloidal vibration therapy is no more effective than the standard practice of stretching and massage to promote muscle recovery after the performance of muscle-damaging exercise. Clinical Relevance: Prescription of vibration therapy after maximal exercise involving eccentric muscle damage did not alleviate signs and symptoms of muscle damage faster than the standard prescription of stretching and massage.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:38 AEDT ]]> Monitoring athletic training status using the maximal rate of heart rate increase https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28286 cyc) and running at 8 km/h (rHRIrun) in 13 male triathletes following two weeks of light-training (LT), two weeks of heavy-training (HT) and a two-day recovery period (RP). A five min cycling time-trial assessed performance and peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak). Results: Performance likely decreased following HT (Effect size ± 90% confidence interval = -0.18 ± 0.09), then very likely increased following RP (0.32 ± 0.14). rHRIcyc very likely decreased (-0.48 ± 0.24), and rHRIrun possibly decreased (-0.33 ± 0.48), following HT. Changes in both measures were unclear following RP. Steady-state HR was almost certainly lower (-0.81 ± 0.31) during rHRIcyc than rHRIrun. A large correlation was found between reductions in performance and rHRIrun (r ± 90%; CI = 0.65 ± 0.34) from LT to HT, but was unclear for rHRIcyc. Trivial within-subject correlations were found between rHRI and performance, but the strength of relationship between rHRIrun and performance was largely associated with VO2peak following LT (r = -0.58 ± 0.38). Conclusions: Performance reductions were most sensitively tracked by rHRIrun following HT. This may be due to rHRIrun being assessed at a higher intensity than rHRIcyc, inferred from a higher steady-state HR and supported by a stronger within-subject relationship between rHRIrun and performance in individuals with a lower VO2peak, in whom the same exercise intensity would represent a greater physiological stress. rHRI assessed at relatively high exercise intensities may better track performance changes.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:23 AEDT ]]> Improved heart rate recovery despite reduced exercise performance following heavy training: a within-subject analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29263 0.6). There were inverse within-subject relationships between indices of HRR and performance (r = −0.6, p ≤ 0.004). Peak HR decreased 3.2 ± 5.1 bpm following heavy training (p = 0.06) and significantly increased 4.9 ± 4.3 bpm following recovery (p = 0.004). There was a moderate within-subject relationship between peak HR and exercise performance (r = 0.7, p ≤ 0.001). Controlling for peak HR reduced the relationships between HRR and performance (r = −0.4–0.5, p < 0.05). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that HRR tracks short-term changes in exercise performance within-individuals, such that increases in HRR are associated with poorer exercise performance following heavy training. Peak HR can be compromised under conditions of fatigue, and needs to be taken into account in HRR analyses.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:14 AEDT ]]> Effect of acute exercise-induced fatigue on maximal rate of heart rate increase during submaximal cycling https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29225 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:49 AEDT ]]> Evidence for circulatory benefits of resveratrol in humans https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28570 trans-resveratrol can enhance nitric oxide bioavailability, thereby increasing endothelium-dependent vasodilation.

Clinical Relevance: Prescription of vibration therapy after maximal exercise involving eccentric muscle damage did not alleviate signs and symptoms of muscle damage faster than the standard prescription of stretching and massage.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:24 AEDT ]]> Effects of resveratrol on cognitive performance, mood and cerebrovascular function in post-menopausal women; a 14-week randomised placebo-controlled intervention trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32870 Mon 23 Sep 2019 14:04:23 AEST ]]> Long-term resveratrol supplementation improves pain perception, menopausal symptoms, and overall well-being in postmenopausal women: Findings from a 24-month randomized, controlled, crossover trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49575 Mon 22 May 2023 10:37:09 AEST ]]> Long-term effects of resveratrol on cognition, cerebrovascular function and cardio-metabolic markers in postmenopausal women: A 24-month randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49574 Mon 22 May 2023 10:30:15 AEST ]]> Profiling cerebrovascular function in migraine: A systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49555 Mon 22 May 2023 09:13:41 AEST ]]> Exploring the effects of resveratrol supplementation on cerebrovascular function in hormonal migraineurs: A pilot study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53936 Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:50:38 AEDT ]]> Resveratrol counteracts insulin resistance: potential role of the circulation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35057 Mon 17 Jun 2019 10:29:54 AEST ]]> Benefits of exercise training on cerebrovascular and cognitive function in ageing https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46183 Mon 14 Nov 2022 10:13:02 AEDT ]]> Associations between Cerebrovascular Function and the Expression of Genes Related to Endothelial Function in Hormonal Migraine https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54772 Mon 11 Mar 2024 15:07:29 AEDT ]]> An exploratory analysis of changes in mental wellbeing following curcumin and fish oil supplementation in middle-aged and older adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38520 Mon 09 May 2022 16:19:34 AEST ]]> Cybersickness-related changes in brain hemodynamics: a pilot study comparing transcranial Doppler and near-infrared spectroscopy assessments during a virtual ride on a roller coaster https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35486 Fri 16 Aug 2019 13:43:22 AEST ]]> There is no association between the Omega-3 Index and depressive symptoms in patients with heart disease who are low fish consumers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33258 -0.26, P < 0.03).
